The Wankou Salt Farm is now a big change, although it is still a simple wooden house, but it is neatly planned, the roads in the residential area have also been renovated, the small stone paved roads are criss-crossed, the residential area is divided into neat small squares, and the difference is that the Wankou Salt Field has a barracks, tall wooden fences, horses, antlers, and ditches constitute a complete defense system, although there is no tall city wall, but it still shows a strict atmosphere.

There are no idlers in the residential area, after the mountain wind occupies the Wankou salt field, immediately according to Li Qing's deployment in the Wankou to implement the new policy, after each household salt workers hand over the salt every month, the excess salt is purchased at a price slightly lower than the official price, and then handed over to Cui Yicheng, smuggled out and sold to various places at the price of private salt, the current salt workers are full of energy, because the more salt is sunburned, the more profit they will make, the amount of salt stipulated by the mountain wind is not high, it is easy to complete. In addition to the children, even the women of every family now go to work in the salt works, if for nothing else, just to produce a little more salt for themselves.

The former salt workers who entered the army are now regular soldiers, and their military skills are enough for them to feed their families, and of course, if their families are willing to dry salt, they should be treated the same as salt workers. The current mouth of the bay is a scene in full swing.

"Those who have constant birth have perseverance!" Guo Feng admired Li Qing's words, and now he has an incomparable prestige in the hearts of tens of thousands of salt workers in Wankou, if nothing else, just because he let them have food and clothing, and is no longer oppressed by those salt farm officials.

Thousands of elites selected from the salt workers, coupled with the original scout elites he brought over, now the army in his hands has 5,000 people, and these 5,000 people have slowly become mature from the previous rookies after a few months of conquest, they are not far from an elite soldier, the key is to take them to the Fuzhou army they were afraid of before, and under the successive victories, their morale is gradually rising, in the words of the marshal, this is the heart of a victor. And for a force, this mentality of the brave and the strong is very crucial, and you can't expect an army that has been defeated in successive battles to have any tiger spirit and domineering.

The officers secretly dispatched from Dingzhou have completely and effectively controlled this army, and with the skeleton of these low-level officers, this army is now not much better than the regular army of Dingzhou, and it can even be said that he is an army in Dingzhou that has not yet entered the establishment. It is no wonder that the Fuzhou army, which has not gone through wind and rain, has been defeated in front of them.

After connecting and laying down several counties and annihilating the elite of the Fuzhou army, the strategic goal of the first phase has been completed, and there is no need to rob everywhere. Now the wind is blowing through the mountains, and the soldiers are already pointing directly at Huai'an, the capital of Fuzhou, and they can act just after waiting for the commander to give an order.

"The big boss, the big boss." A man hurried over.

"Big boss, a group of people came out and asked to see you!"

"Who? Didn't you ask clearly? The mountain wind asked in a deep voice.

"The big boss, the leader is a woman, with her face covered, followed by dozens of guards, she looks very tough, and that woman asked me to hand over this thing to the big boss." The soldier panted and handed a small sign to the mountain wind.

When the mountain wind saw the style of the card, his face was already showing joy, and after taking it and taking a look, he pulled his legs and left.

"Boss, where are you going?"

"Let's go, follow me to meet you."

"General, congratulations, from today onwards, you have been promoted to general by the marshal, and the marshal has issued your promotion order before I came, of course, because of your current situation, this appointment is only known to a few people in Dingzhou. You now have 5,000 elite soldiers in your hand, which is exactly the size of a battalion, so the commander named this battalion the Yishan Battalion. Qingfeng handed over the letter of appointment.

Guoshan Feng stood up calmly and saluted the letter of appointment issued by Li Qing, and then took it with both hands and carefully put it into his arms. From now on, he is also a general. From bandits to generals, when I think of the past, I can't help but feel a little emotional.

"General Guo, since you followed the marshal, you have made many meritorious deeds, in fact, with your merits, you should have been promoted a long time ago, but for various reasons, you have been dragged until now, you will not complain about the marshal in your heart, right?" Qingfeng smiled.

Guoshan Feng Zhengse said: "Director Qingfeng, if you hadn't met a general, I'm afraid that I'm still wandering around, it's too late to be grateful, why complain?" ”

Qingfeng nodded slightly: "That's good, General Guo, do you know about the restructuring of the Dingzhou Army this time?" ”

"I've heard a little. General Lu is highly respected, and General Wang is brave and good at fighting, and it is expected that the two of them will be promoted. Although the mountain wind was calm, there was still a hint of envy in his eyes, and King Lu and the two were the generals in charge of one side.

Keenly caught the eyes of the mountain wind, Qingfeng smiled: "The Dingzhou Army has three divisions, the Lu division, and the Qi Nian division, each with its own master, so do you know who the commander of the third division is that the marshal likes?" ”

Guoshan Feng's heart pounded, Qingfeng can be said to be the closest person to the handsome, at least before the princess of Allure marries will be the most influential person in the handsome, although he heard about the setting of the third division from the officers who came from Dingzhou, and so far only confirmed the commander of the two divisions, for the third division, everyone is talking about it, all guessing who the last lucky person is, it is the mountain breeze himself, and he has guessed countless times in his heart, Qingfeng said so, is there already a candidate in the heart of the handsome?

"But I don't know if it's General Feng Guo or General Jiang Kui?" Guo Shanfeng asked tentatively, in the Dingzhou army, these two people were the first to follow the general, and they were the general's henchmen, and they were also the most likely, as for the other general, Lu Dabing, because his brother was already in charge of a division, he could basically be excluded.

"These two are indeed the candidates in the marshal's mind, but there is another one, can you guess?" Qingfeng laughed meaningfully.

Guoshan Feng's heart jumped thumping, and his heart, which was barely calm, could no longer hold it at this time, his face was slightly red, and he said in a trembling voice: "But I don't know which one, is it General Lu Dabing?" ”

Qingfeng laughed, "General Guo, you obviously know it in your heart, but you want me to say it, okay, I will satisfy you, this third candidate is that you have passed the mountain wind and passed the general." ”

Hearing the news from Qingfeng's mouth, Guo Shanfeng did not doubt its real surname at all, "Is this possible, I have just been promoted to a staff general, and if I want to be in charge of a division, I must at least be a partial general, or even a deputy general!" ”

"Why is it impossible, the appointment of the marshal has always been a meritocracy, of course, this factor will also be considered, otherwise, why would the marshal suddenly promote you to a general, and at the same time delay in announcing the candidate for the commander of the third division? It's just so that you have the same qualifications as Feng Jiang and the others! ”

Guoshan Feng stood up suddenly, and took a deep look at Qingfeng, a huge opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him, no matter who he was, it was impossible to keep a normal heart, compared with Jiang Feng and the two, Guoshan Feng knew that he had congenital deficiencies, he was born as a bandit, this was already a congenital deficiency, and secondly, Jiang Feng and the two were not only the henchmen of the handsome, but also had the backing of Mr. Shang, who joined the army, and Director Qingfeng once said that they all belonged to the original Changsheng battalion, and they couldn't be relied on over there. But Qingfeng said this to him today, the meaning of wooing is very obvious, Guoshan Feng knows that Qingfeng and Mr. Shang have gradually obvious contradictions, at this time, it is time to choose.

"Please also ask Director Seifeng to help. If you can serve as the commander of this third division, you will be rewarded. ”

Qingfeng stood up and said, "What do I want you to reciprocate, as long as you are always loyal to the commander, it will be the best reward for me." ”

Guoshan Feng said solemnly: "Guo Mou's grace to the handsome will always be remembered, I am willing to die for the handsome, and there will never be a little second heart." ”

Qingfeng said meaningfully: "Okay, General Guo, with your words, I will try my best to help you succeed." ”

"Thank you, Director." ”

After gossiping, it's time to get down to business. "Director Qingfeng, you came here this time, shouldn't you have made a special trip to deliver the promotion order, what instructions does the marshal have?"

Qingfeng nodded and said: "Everything is going according to our expectations, Xiang Xianhe can't stand your blow, and ran to our Dingzhou to ask for help, and the marshal has sent troops to Fuzhou at his request to help him suppress the bandits." ”

At this, both of them laughed in unison, thinking that this thing was really funny.

"Which general is the one who commanded the troops into Fuzhou?" The mountain wind laughed.

"Just like you, Jiang Heiniu, who has just been promoted to a general!"

"Is that him?" The mountain wind was surprised, Jiang Heiniu's name he knew, Luoyang's battle against the Royal Forest Army, is his famous work, this person is now the legend of the Dingzhou Army, from a small soldier to a general, its speed has surpassed the marshal Li Qing, of course, this is also his luck, met a meritocracy, vigorously cultivated it, only today's Jiang Heiniu, when he was a captain, this kid is still a small soldier! I thought sourly about the mountain wind. I can't imagine that I am now on an equal footing with myself.

"Jiang Heiniu led the Jianrui battalion to march into Fuzhou, and secretly came under your control." Qingfeng Channel.

"Under my control?" Guo Shanfeng said suspiciously: "Director, Jiang Heiniu and I are both generals, and he is General Wang's old subordinate, do you want to listen to my orders?" ”

Qingfeng said with a smile: "Fuzhou is here, our two generals in Dingzhou, if you can't unify the command, it will inevitably be inconsistent, so I suggested to the marshal that it be assigned to your command, you don't have to worry about him not listening to the command, if this situation really happens, then his general doesn't have to do it, even Wang Qinian can't get out of it." ”

Qingfeng snorted, "General Guo, I might as well tell you that if you are really in charge of the Third Division, then Jiang Heiniu's Jianrui Battalion will be assigned to you permanently, so you don't have any scruples." ”

Hearing Qingfeng's words, Guo Shanfeng's heart shook suddenly, if the marshal really intends to let himself be in charge of the third division, then he will assign Wang Qinian's old department to himself, that is a check and balance, thinking that Lu Dalin's department has been arranged into a large number of officers of the personal guard battalion, Guo Shanfeng is even more clear in his heart, it seems that he must pay attention not to violate the will of the marshal in this aspect in the future.
